Finally resurrecting the turd gen!

[bottledbird68]

So, after parting out the camaro and opening up my own shop again I've been toyless all season. Well, sold a car I took in trade for some labor and been getting caught up at the shop so time to get something together for myself again!
Now, on to the good stuff. The car started life as an 87 formula with a carbed 305 and an automatic. I cloned it into a 91/92 gta, and we swapped in a black interior with fourth gen console. Only other thing I did was add c5 front brakes, fourth gen 3.42 posi rear, subframe connectors, zo6 wheels, and exhaust.
Ran it like that for a few years until the motor started making noise and I parked it. Well, while it was stored at my friends place someone stole the wheels and front calipers :/. Now it's at my new shop where it's been patiently waiting.

So, here's the plan, been back and forth over a lot of ideas but this is the final one and 97% of the parts are here in my possession or in the mail already.
Doing a 5.3 with a gt45 turbo, flipped truck manifolds, front mount intercooler, 60lb injectors, ls1 intake and accessories, and most likely an ls9 cam and springs.
Backing it up with a t56, monster clutch, spohn crossmember and crossmember mounted torque arm. Got another set of c5 front calipers so keeps the vette brakes. Walboro 450 fuel pump, lt1 fourth gen gas tank, and radiator with dual fans out of the 95 camaro. And that's about it. Super budget build with all cheap parts so I can have a toy to play with until I get the 68 done. Gonna run 12-14 psi on pump gas and see what it does. Should be a fun toy. Hopefully getting started on it in the next week or two. More pics to follow as I get into it but here's how everything sits now.
